9 Cheap Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and that means it’s time to pick out the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for your significant other… ughh. I know. I feel ya — luckily for you, I have devised a list of gifts that are definitely bound to impress (though I guarantee nothing…). Here they are:

For the D-I-Yer: A Date Night Memory Book

If you fancy yourself particularly creative and your significant other enjoys reminders of your time together (and honestly, who wouldn’t) then the perfect Valentine’s Day gift might be a date night memory book.

For the Chef: Fancy Seasoning

If your significant other loves to cook, why not track them down some fancy spices so they can whip you up an amazing Valentine’s Day dinner (like this one from World Spice). I’d recommend going for some that they wouldn’t normally by themselves.

What it’ll cost you: $50 or less

For the Traveler: Passport Holder

Whether your partner plans to head overseas or to the next state, if they have the travel bug a passport holder is a great Valentine’s Day gift. Okay, granted if they’re just traveling from Texas and back they probably don’t need a passport holder, but it’s the thought that counts.

What it’ll cost you: $25 or less

For the Board Game Lover: The Latest and Greatest

If your significant other is constantly begging you to play board games with them then perhaps get them one to add to their collection. Technically it depends on what kind of board game they like to play but some great ones include:

For the Reflector: A Nice Notebook or Journal

You can pick a genuinely nice one of these bad boys up for a completely reasonable price. If your better half is always taking notes and scribbling things on post-its than perhaps this is the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for them. And they never expire, seriously… I have like five lying around.

What it’ll cost you: $20

For the Perpetual Planner: A Year of Dates

If your significant other (or you) can’t stop coming up with great ideas for things you should be doing on your next date (or next 50 dates), try writing them down and gifting them! The best part is this is a completely DIY gift (don’t worry you don’t have to be creative) and will cost next to nothing. You can read the instructions here.

What it’ll cost you: $10 ($20 if you want to spring for a fancy box)

For the One Who’s Always Late: A Bluetooth Speaker and Clock

This is mostly on the list because I can think of a few people who need it… but for those significant others that could use a little help getting up in the morning and like music a Bluetooth speaker and clock combination is a great idea! I particularly fancy this Celcube Nightlight because it’s like a three in one deal, more bang for your buck.

What it’ll cost you: $50 or less

For the Avid Reader: One of the Classics

If your significant other is a big reader, try adding a classic or two to their collection. Classic novels are pretty reasonably priced and they show you took some time to do a little research… or just stole a title of my below list (I won’t tell). Some great choices include:

Jane Eyre

Pride and Prejudice

Wuthering Heights

Sherlock Holmes

To Kill a Mocking Bird

Frankenstein

Dracula

Anything by Charles Dickens

Or you can go dark with an Edgar Allen Poe collection (personal favorite)

What it’ll cost you: $15 or under
